Intro:

Gelo: "Innovation is not just creating something new; it’s using what already exists to shape
a better future for all."
Good day, our esteemed panelist, teachers, and researchers! I’m John Angelo Mariano,

Ari: Introduce
JM: Introduce

Gelo: Today, we’ll be proposing an innovation that’s not just about solving today’s problems
but about shaping a sustainable future. Let’s dive in!

Slide 2: Image of Climate Change


Ari:
Climate change is one of the biggest challenges of our time. You’ve probably seen these
images before—floods, droughts, wildfires, melting ice caps. We are constantly reminded
that our planet is warming at an alarming rate. But how is global warming impacting our
everyday lives?

Global Warming]
JM:
Global warming isn’t just about melting icebergs; it directly impacts the weather we
experience. The rising temperatures are leading to more extreme heat during the summers
and unpredictable weather patterns. And let’s not forget…

---

Extreme Temperature Image


Gelo:
...extreme temperatures! These spikes in heat cause serious discomfort for people. Think
about how miserable it can be during a scorching day. In the Philippines, where we live in a
tropical climate, we’re especially vulnerable.
The energy demand for cooling is skyrocketing, and this trend will only worsen as climate
change intensifies.

---

The Philippines and Energy Demand


Ari:
In fact, the Philippines is highly vulnerable to the effects of climate change. With our tropical
climate, rising temperatures mean rising energy demands—especially for cooling. Our
country has already experienced heat indices reaching 47°C, like in Dagupan City last April
2024. As you can imagine, the need for air conditioning becomes a matter of comfort, even
survival!

Global Energy Statistics


JM:
Globally, the energy we use to heat and cool buildings accounts for nearly 50% of global
energy consumption. That’s huge! And it doesn’t stop there—heating and cooling make up
39% of energy-related carbon emissions. This shows just how much our daily comfort
contributes to climate change. So, the big question is—how can we cool our homes without
warming the planet?

Thermal Insulators from Organic Materials


Gelo:
One of the most promising solutions lies in using organic materials as thermal insulators.
Research, such as those by Alhabeeb et al. and Mort et al., shows that using agricultural by-
products can significantly reduce the impact of global warming. However, these studies
focus on individual materials. What about combining them?

---
Our Title Slide
Ari:
And that brings us to our study! We propose investigating **Durian Husk and Jackfruit Rind
as Thermal Insulators**. Why these materials? They are abundant, organic, and waste
products that would otherwise contribute to landfill problems.

Study is Innovative, Eco-Friendly, and Efficient


JM:
This study is *innovative* because we’re exploring new uses for waste materials, promoting
sustainability in construction.

Gelo:
It’s *eco-friendly* by reducing waste, and

Ari:
*efficient* because we evaluate not just individual performance but how these materials work
together under different conditions.

Statement of the Problem*


Gelo:
Our study seeks to answer two key questions:
1. Which among the setups is the most effective in terms of thermal conductivity, and
water absorption rates?
Setup 1: 30g of Jackfruit Rind, 40g of Durian Husk, 10 ml synthetic glue
Setup 2: 40g of Jackfruit Rind, 30g of Durian Husk, 10 ml of synthetic glue
Setup 3: 20g of Jackfruit Rind, 20g of Durian Husk, 10 ml of synthetic glue
2. Is there a significant difference in the thermal conductivity, and water absorption rates of
Durian Husk and Jackfruit Rind across different treatments?

Methodology Slide
Gelo:
For our methodology, we will follow several steps to ensure our study is comprehensive and
detailed.

1. Material Collection
We will collect 20 kilograms of Durian Husk and 20 kilograms of Jackfruit Rind. These
materials will be separated from the edible portions and only the fibrous husk and rind will be
used.

2. Drying
The collected materials will be washed and sun-dried for about 7 days to remove moisture.
This is essential to ensure that the insulation properties aren’t compromised by water.

3. Shredding and Blending


After drying, we’ll shred the husks and rinds into pieces of approximately 1 cm². The
shredded materials will then be blended to ensure a consistent texture for testing.

4. Sample Preparation
We will mix the shredded Durian Husk and Jackfruit Rind with synthetic glue as a binder.
The organic material-to-glue ratio will be maintained at 70:30 by weight to provide strong
bonding without sacrificing insulation properties.

5.Molding
The mixed materials will be placed into molds, measuring 0.1m x 0.1m x 0.03m, and pressed
to form solid panels.

6. Drying and Curing


The molded panels will be left to dry and cure at room temperature for 7 days, ensuring they
are stable for testing.

Ari:
7. **Thermal Insulation Test**
The procedure will involve taking temperature readings at regular intervals, using Fourier’s
Law to calculate thermal conductivity. The temperature difference across the insulation
material will be measured to assess the material's effectiveness in preventing heat transfer.
8. **Water Absorption Test**
We will also test the water absorption properties of the panels.
Each panel will be weighed before being fully submerged in water for 24 hours. After
immersion, we will gently dry the surface and weigh them again. This will help us calculate
the percentage of water absorbed and assess the material’s moisture resistance.

9. **Data Analysis**
We will analyze the results based on the thermal conductivity and water absorption rates of
each setup. Statistical tools like mean, standard deviation, and One-Way ANOVA will be
used to determine the significance of the data and compare the performance of the different
material combinations.

---

JM:
Finally, we’ll analyze our data using tools like mean, standard deviation, and One-Way
ANOVA to compare the results between our setups. This will give us clear insights into
which material combination works best.

Gelo:
In conclusion, our research aims to not only reduce energy consumption but also promote
sustainability by finding innovative uses for agricultural waste. By doing so, we hope to
contribute to a future where we can cool our homes and buildings without contributing to
global warming.
